Sir Why You Little

The Behavior of the Australian cricket Team was deplorable Last Week. I was embarassed to be an Aussie. I don't say that lightly-But i am really sick of the arrogant attitude, sadly at the moment the Aussies are not a likeable bunch at all. Particulairly after the Comments I heard Watson say on this mornings Radio, that basically defended the current attitude....Little shits obviously get Paid to much money and forget what cricket is all about. I hope the Paki's go right through us-maybe then the Team will grow up & learn some respect. I Like to see a Bloody Hard Fought contest, but i don't like seeing childish arrogance. Shane Watson hang your head... Ponting also needs a new Baggy Green-his original one is a disgrace. Carry it in your bag Ricky, but put on a new one when Representing my Country.

What an amazing game. Over 800 Runs in 100 overs!!!! Pitch must have been made from a peice of Pristine Autobhan!! Flat and Lifeless for bowling. Sri lanka only lost by 3 runs! chasing 417.

I agree but it was only the 5th time in History that the First up batting side made 500+ and lost. So yes all power to the Big V. Just shows how much belief is in that side right now. How Bad would the Crow Eaters be It's just Golden Moments i say!!

As i said above RR i am happy to admit i was wrong, but to say you could see that run chase coming on a fourth day pitch is a bit rich!! But it does prove that cricket should always be primarily a Long Game so that all the nuances of it can be applied. Go The Big V

does anyone have a score card for the fourth innings? The Bowling must have been ordinary to concede such a score with only 4 down on a final day wicket!

Bloody oath Go Vics that has to be one of the highest 2nd innings chases of all time, particularly in a 4 day rain affected game. Truly incredible, i have been at work so heard nothing till now.

Fair enough....The Miracle Happened and good luck to them, White took a huge gamble and it paid off. The cold Beers are fully deserved in the change room tonight.

REALLY!!! They scored 381 only 4 down. Ok i will happily concede i was COMPLETELY wrong. But as the rain tumbled down on friday i thought it was a shocking decision. I am happy to be wrong this time, and to the Vics and Cameron White i humbly apologize....

Couldn't believe it when i heard White had put SA into bat first, with the unsettled weather forecast. We will get THRASHED bar a miracle, seriously.... :angry:

Lucky Man, i will get to adelaide for cricket one day...

Ponting's Batting & Fielding are great-no arguement. His Captaincy in the Field particularly is cod ordinary...I agree with Hogg's article...

That was a Typo error, i concur it was rather cryptic

Why are the selectors continuing to play Hussey? Makes no sense at all. I am agreeing with Hogg's article, and i bet my house i am not the only one. There are better cricketers in this country than the selectors are giving credit-now is the time to be Bold not conservative as if we draw a series against the Windie & even lose to the Paki's nobody will ultimately care.

Yes i read that with great interest actually-keep that stuff handy as i am sure people will want to revisit those in years to come. Doesn't change my position on Hogg's article though. Australia's Test side has stagnated, and with the amount of talent in the country there is no reason for it. For the sake of the Long Term Side, i really hope the Windies win the last Test, & the Pakistani's give us a real fright, otherwise the selectors will continue to do nothing. I want to beat those Poms over there in 4 years.....

Slight Typo there!! Well Pickied up 45-Teachers are good at that!

So you are ready for a 3rd consecutive loss over there are you?? Cause i am not.

Interesting to Read Rodney Hogg's Coment in today's Hun...I totally agree, it is time for Ponting to go as captain/ He is a great Batsmen & fielder but his captaincy record particulairly when fielding is ordinary. In 4 years time i want Australia to win the Ashes over there. Now is the time to start planning, we have the Talent in this country to once again have the Number 1 side on the Planet. Playing a bunch of 35 year olds who will be 39 in for years time is not the answer-enough of the Boys club.... Read the article..Rodney makes some very interesting points.... http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/rodney-h...f-1225808404294

Go the BIG V. This will be a great win if they pull it off, half a side injured. What a top come back, keep it up!

Yes if you get the Chance to Hear Billy's I/V on SEN do it, absolutely Hilarious!!

so sad about the West Indies. As a teenager i was in total awe of that team. Cool & Relentless. As for Pakistan, well Religion is ruining the whole country in every infrastructure.

Fair enough, But if i was Captain i couldn't sleep straight if i implemented that rule!! It really goes against my Grain Ricky should have over ruled it. I almost lost a $1,200 Radio through RAGE!!!

Yes there is an ongoing problem with over rates, going back to the 80's West indies pace attack Granted, But that situation should never deny a team from going for a win in a test match. It's just not Right. The Aussies Winning that game was a long shot, but i will never agree that we should be told to not go for it. Not with 2 hours to go on an old pitch...

I Agree with what you are Saying RR, But i still believe trying to win an away series in India is more important than being suspended for the following Test in Brisbane. Any Fines could have easily been paid by the Australian Public as there would have been "Civil Outrage" (Qick Whip around in every local Pub!!) Remind me-Who did we play in that first Test in Brisbane...New Zealand i think. Personally i would Prefer to try & beat India over there. If Ponting's hands were tied with that decision then it is an ICC digrace i believe...

I know he leaks runs, but he still took 12 for in his first game, & he should have been percervered with a bit longer. Fair enough he turned out to be another Darren Cuthbertson but i don't think the selectors helped his confidence much.

Sure he was put on the spot, but should he have gone for the win. I say he should have had a crack for 40 odd minutes. If we had broken through, the over rate issue would not have been mentioned. But he Led the Team out after tea with the white flag up. I almost broke a really expensive Radio!!! & i am guessing i was not alone around the country.
